My name is Kim Brennan and I am a dialysis patient at the Dialysis clinic in Miramichi New Brunswick. Recently, I was devastated to learn that the funding for our essential dialysis medications has been cut by Susan Holt and the New Brunswick provincial government. This funding reduction is a life-changing decision that threatens the health and wellbeing of countless individuals who rely on these medications to survive.

I would like to ask all other Dialysis patients in New Brunswick that are affected by this and any other New Brunswick who cares about healthcare please sign our petition.

Without government support, patients like me, who are already struggling with our medical conditions, are now facing the overwhelming burden of additional healthcare costs. For many of us, this isn't just about financial difficulties; it's a matter of life and death. Some individuals in our community do not have any medical insurance, leaving them completely exposed to these added expenses. For others, even with insurance, the copayments and additional fees pile onto the existing strain of managing their healthcare, further endangering their quality of life.

Dialysis is not a choice; it's a necessity for survival. The decision to cut funding neglects the essential needs of vulnerable people and goes against the principles of compassion and support that should guide our healthcare policies. It is imperative that we stand together to advocate for the restoration of this crucial support. By reversing this decision, the government would not only be renewing a commitment to our health and dignity but also demonstrating that it values the lives of its citizens.

We call on Susan Holt and the New Brunswick provincial government to reconsider this impactful decision and restore funding for dialysis medications. This is more than just a financial issue; it's about ensuring that every Canadian has the right to access life-saving treatment without the fear of financial ruin. We need your support to make our voices heard and to show the government that our healthcare is a priority.

Please join me in signing this petition to urge our leaders to restore funding for dialysis medications. Every signature counts and brings us one step closer to making a real difference in the lives of many. Thank you for your support.
